I'm looking for a spray bottle about this size that would work with cooking oils. Would this one work reliably for that?

The cap doesn't fully seal. If it tips - and it will, because it's not that nice stable triangular shape shown in the picture - when it tips it will leak. I can't even speak to how well or how long it sprays because I couldn't get that far with it.

Sorry for the late answer. I have not tried it with cooking oil, my bottle seems to work well and I think it would spray oil although probably not produce the fine mist it produces with water.

It would work for deep frying better than shallow frying I think. It stuck badly when I tried to fry chicken with a half inch or so of oil.

I use essential oils diluted with alcohol, so it's just a careful pouring situation. The opening isn't too tiny, so if you're careful it shouldn't be a problem. There are droppers and such out there that you can get also. If it's a spray bottle you're transferring from, then I'm not sure what you might do - maybe just put the opening of the travel bottle really close and just squirt it in (that might be a lot of squirting!) Can you open the spray bottle (some are sealed, some aren't...) and pour?

I asked my wife, who has gone to culinary school, this question. She says the oil has too thick of a consistency and will clog up a generic sprayer.

I used this; worked very well. Make sure it is mixed well, as it will settle on bottom of spray bottle. I use hot water to mix thoroughly. Price is better than in stores.

It does fit with no leaks. Am using it in a wine bottle (green glass) for stove top storage of cooking grade Olive oil. With the long neck wine bottle it does pour a little slow; the air vent gets covered if tipped too far. But that is OK; better than putting way too much oil in the skillet like before. Recommend letting the valve open for a minute after setting it back down to let any oil drain back into the bottle ... keeps the valve from gumming up with oxidized oil.

I can't imagine why not. If it stores bacon fat after straining, I don't see why you couldn't use it to strain cooking oil. Another way to strain it, is to put some cheese cloth into a funnel, and pour the oil back into the bottle. Mark the bottle as frying/cooking oil only so that you don't grab it for anything else. I use my crock for bacon fat only.

After "losing" several pans to stick residue, I decided to use a mist sprayer filled with olive oil. So far no problems, but I don't know if there will be long term problems. Somehow, I've never bought into the "no spray cooking" theory.

If you don't have more than 1/3 cup of oil in the container it works fine. Any more than that it tends to squirt rather than spray. Also Give it a few pumps just before use, the more pressure the better the spray.

I make bug spray w/it. I only put in 6-7 drops in a pint size. NOT the whole bottle.

Yes it does spray well from a spray bottle. I use one with measurement markings for easier mixing.

My bottle is a dropper. I think if it was a spray you would have to much oil being used and wasted. I put it in my hand and then put it on my face. If you use it for the body a spray would be fantastic.

Not really, my hubby uses a sprits type bottle to put oil in his hair. I never tried it for olive oil but I imagine itd work. The problem is u'd have less control over where the oil goes and how evenly it is distributed than with an aerosol can.

I have used two bottles so far and the ball is popping off, thus spilling out a good amount of oil. Has anyone found a different bottle that is better quality. I'm using frankincense neat. Thank you in advance!

Interesting that I am asked a question after I was told my feedback was removed. I have looked at the bottle. The spray I purchased was intended as a "Pretreater for baked o burnt on greasy dishes." "Ideal for use on dishes with baked and burnt on grease." It did not work on my intended item.

Not really. It works surprisingly well. No dripping. You can control the rate at which oil comes out by changing the angle you hold the bottle. Since the spout is small, even the fastest rate is manageable.

Will not work with a pour bottle. You might trying buying an inexpensive spray top for your bottle, or pouring some into an inexpensive spray bottle you can buy for $1 at a local five and dime type store or on Amazon.
